Allopurinol Tablets are primarily used to treat conditions associated with excess uric acid in the body, such as gout and certain types of kidney stones. Additionally, they may be prescribed to manage elevated uric acid levels resulting from cancer treatments that cause tumor lysis syndrome. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, thereby reducing the production of uric acid. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider for proper management.
